Was the original Xbox a generational leap above the PS2, spec wise? No, it wasn't. It's already known that the Xbox was more powerful, but guess what? The Wii has the same computing power as the Xbox, meaning, it too is only about 1.5x more powerful than the PS2. Now, putting this in relative terms, the PS3/360 are over 4.5x more powerful than the Wii. Not to mention they're architectures are VASTLY more complex than the Wii, relative to the PS2 vs. Xbox. At the end of the day, what N'Gai is proposing is just silly, and like someone above said, PS360 software would plummet. You think they could make KZ2 the way it is, with the Wii in it's vision, and then a "port up" at a later time? No.

KZ2 is going to loose money, atleast with 360, Wii and PS2 versions it might have had a chance to break even.
According to the HD argument higher resolution is a key reasoning for having it. Well the xbox had a higher resolution output than either console competitor last gen. so yes it was a "generational leap".
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
